Photosynthetic biofuel production is one of alternative forms of energy supply to fossil fuels since its use is controversially considered as a main reason for high oil prices and global warming. In addition to traditional uses in providing food and feed application, photosynthesis will continue to be used for transport energy and chemical feedstock. Algal photosynthesis has been considered as one of the system to be maximized for energy application by means of synthetic biology. Over the years, cyanobacteria have been regarded as ideal model systems for studying fundamental biochemical processes like oxygenic photosynthesis and carbon and nitrogen assimilation. They have been also used as human foods, sources for vitamins, proteins, fine chemicals, bioactive compounds, and even as alternative energy crops. Additionally, aiming to increase plant productivity as well as nutritional values, cyanobacterial genes involved in carbon metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, and pigment biosynthesis have been intensively exploited as alternatives to homologous gene sources. In this talk, I’l present overview on algal photosynthesis as live fuels replacing fossil fuels.
